Shawnee CUSD 84

The Shawnee CUSD 84 district in Illinois serves three schools: Shawnee Elementary School, Shawnee High School, and Shawnee Junior High School. Unfortunately, the data indicates that the district as a whole is struggling, with all three schools performing well below state averages on key metrics like test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism.

None of the schools in the Shawnee CUSD 84 district appear to be standouts, as they all have very low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, with Shawnee High School's SAT scores particularly concerning at 0% proficient in Math and only 12.6% proficient in English Language Arts. The district's four-year graduation rate of 80% and high dropout rate of 5.6% at the high school level are also areas of concern.

Across the district, the schools have high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 53.62% at the high school to 64.9% at the elementary school. This, combined with the high chronic absenteeism rates, suggests that the district may be serving a population of students facing significant socioeconomic challenges, which could be contributing to the poor academic performance. While the consistent spending per student across the schools indicates that funding may not be the primary issue, the district will need to focus on other factors, such as curriculum, instruction, and support services, to improve student outcomes and provide a high-quality education for all students.
